TM-White is a product much like the white stripping
material used on pavements for controlling traffic. Much
of this is still in use after many years of traffic crossing
it. In fact, there is no good way to remove it. The city
and state employees normally paint tar over it if traffic
patterns are changed.

TM-White with age becomes more wear-resistant and
waterproof. TM-White could not be a protective coating against large hail. It is impossible to engineer a coating against large hailstones.

A coating of TM-White over a previously black or
colored roof can reduce air conditioning costs as much
as 20%.

We have observed black roofs that had the TM-White
applied next to the black tar paper and tar. A person
could lay his face on the white where he could not bear
to hold his hand on the black section. This was on a
day of 80° or more temperature.

Emphasis must be placed on the fact that the black
roof absorbs so much that given enough time this
absorbed heat will destroy the paper, tar, and decking
materials. The interior of the building has to contain this
heat. More insulations are required under the roofing
to prevent this heat from raising the temperature in the
rooms below.

A TM-White roof will, of course, reflect the sun's heat
back and the roofing materials will not be undergoing
this terrific heat. The attic or space between ceiling and
roof will never be nearly so hot. A small amount of insulating materials above the ceiling will do better than
the large amounts that are required for black roofs.

TM-White can be applied by anyone. The best application is with a wide paint brush. This material flows
and levels as well as the best house paint. There is just
the right amount of solvent in TM-White so that it will
merge or fuse with the tar on built-up roofs or with the
asphalt in composition shingles.

Note this very thick viscous material. Normal paint weighs approximately 7 lbs. Our TM White weighs 13 lbs. per gallon. This roof coating is NOT a paint. It is a very heavy bodied material with an excellent adhesion factor to any tar or asphalt base product. The white is a tremendous advantage for reflecting heat.

The better application is two coats because you are
adding thickness to the cover. At the low price of
TM-White, a two-coat job is very reasonable. TM-White
will normally dry to touch within thirty minutes to one
hour.

Reports that roofs with considerable pits and signs
of erosion which were leaking in numerous places, were
stopped and a very attractive roof was obtained.
Throughout our tests we were able to cover 100 square
feet or better of area on tar-paper roofs.

The coverage may be somewhat less on composition shingles because in brushing the joint cracks and
the lower edges of the shingles will have a thicker
deposit of TM-White.

M.A. Black Primer Only

For old tar-paper roofs that have not been recoated
with tar for a long time, it is our recommendation that
our MA-Black be applied over the roof twelve or more
hours before the top coat is applied.

Our MA-Black is a mineral asphalt. This is to say it
is an asphalt that is mined and is not a petroleum
product. Nearly all asphalt materials, paints, and coating on the market employ an asphalt that is a product
of the oil industry. This asphalt cannot compare in quality to the mineral-asphalt, MA-Black.

MA-Black can be brushed or sprayed onto tar paper
roofs as it is not used on composition shingles or rolled
composition. It dries in thirty minutes to where it can
be walked on and will never become sticky even if the
temperature becomes several hundred degrees Fahrenheit. This is not the case with petroleum asphalt.

Our MA-Black covers approximately the same area
per gallon as does the TM-White. The price is about
one-half the price of TM-White. Together they make what
we believe is the greatest roof coating known.

All roofing besides MA-Black or TM-White should
be applied by trained or experienced roofers. With
MA-Black or TM-White, the homeowner or common
laborer can coat a residence or business building. A man, a bucket, and a brush are all that are necessary.
Common naptha is the cleanup material used.
